“The qualification itself was very structured and detailed
and more importantly, relevant”
Tyrone Priestman has recently
completed the GQA Level 4 Award in Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment
Processes and Practices which will enable him to carry out internal quality
assurance of GQA qualifications.
Ty’s working background is in
Automotive Glazing and Training and Development, starting work for IVS Training
and Assessment in 2011 as their Automotive Glazing Assessor. This was a new
area for IVS who have been a pro-active GQA Approved Centre since 2005,
providing Glass and Construction Training for both individuals and companies.
Ty said “The qualification was the natural progression route for me
to take as it allows me to broaden my skill set, the process made me see things
that maybe I previously wouldn’t have, indirectly making me a better assessor.
Seeing the process from the aspect of the IV makes you look at how you can
improve as an assessor, and to ensure consistency and quality is achieved. The
qualification itself was very structured and detailed and more importantly,
relevant. To have achieved the qualification means that in an ever demanding
workplace I have made myself able to take on more involved tasks and be able to
assist the guys at IVS to a greater extent than before. Not forgetting that in
addition it has improved my personal career opportunities and is valuable CPD”.
